This night is a night of sweet joy
Today begins our bond of love
My young flower, time is slipping away
Let the honeyed spring of your lips lull me to sleep
Ah... let the honeyed spring of your lips lull me to sleep
This night is a night of sweet joy
Today begins our bond of love
Is this body a blessing gifted by Kama (the god of love)?
Is this a garden where sweet flowers bloom?
Female: I am a spotted peacock, a feast for you
Drink to your heart's content every single day
Will the prints of ten fingers paint art on you?
Female: Will sleep flee in the sweet sounds of kissing lips?
Male: My young flower, will you bathe in blossoms as your slender waist struggles?
Female: Haha
Male: As our lips bathe...
Female: Haha
Male: As the waist struggles and the lips bathe
This night is a night of sweet joy
Today begins our bond of love
...
...
When the rain begins to fall, passion burns bright
When the sari is touched, the body turns warm
Male: A sacred ritual of love will continue here until morning
By the time this girl closes her eyes, the morning star will rise
Should you caress this tender woman until she gently coos?
Male: Can my heart not see how this tender young body trembles?
Female: This has become the chariot of Kama's temple
From now on, every single day...
Male: Mmm
Female: This young woman will lay out the bed
Male: Haa
Female: From now on, every single day, this young woman will lay out the bed
Male: Aaha... ha...
This night is a night of sweet joy
Female: Today begins our bond of love
Male: My young flower, time is slipping away
Female: Let the honeyed spring of your lips lull me to sleep
Male: Ah... let the honeyed spring of your lips lull me to sleep
